Critic Reviews of "On the Beach"
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006Fine photography, but the script is a typically numbing affair, and the cast, aside from Peck and Meillon, seem totally out of their depth.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003The great merit of this picture, aside from its entertaining qualities, is the fact that it carries a passionate conviction that man is worth saving, after all.
Cinema CrazedJuly 09, 2016Director Kramer's drama is a bleak and heart wrenching tale of the end of the world...
Antagony & EcstasyDecember 17, 2012The scenario - one of the best in Stanley Kramer's filmography - is uniquely human in the annals of post-nuclear cinema.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsMarch 06, 2008Gloomy doomsday film that is more talky, melodramatic and numbing than imaginative.
Filmcritic.comJanuary 26, 2006While heartbreaking and touching, it's hard to imagine that riots aren't rampant and that martial law isn't required, but hey, it's a movie, and quite a good -- if overlong -- one, at that.
EmanuelLevy.ComAugust 07, 2005Kramer's apocalyptic drama is too verbose, replete with "message" speeches, but the text is intelligent, reflecting the Cold War mentality, and well-acted by Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire (in his first nonmusical role) and Anthony Perkins.
Film ThreatMarch 31, 2005As scary a horror film as any you will find.
Kansas City KansanOctober 16, 2004A nuclear war what-if starring some heavy hitters.
